Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper links the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) with technological congruence, which stems from the coherence of directed technological change with the structural conditions of local factor markets. We argue that complementary to regional branching, technological congruence is a crucial dimension of S3, and that it has powerful effects on total factor productivity (TFP). The spatial econometrics evidence for European regions over the period 1980–2011 shows that technological congruence has significant effects on TFP, even if potentially mitigated by some market limits that make policy intervention relevant. Therefore, some S3 policy implications are highlighted.
期刊介绍：
Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world"s leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis.
